It is India’s financial capital. India itself is a South Asian country bordering the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, between Burma and Pakistan. It has a land area of 2,973,190 sq km on which live 1,065,070,607 people (July 2004 est.), making India the second most populous country in the world after its neighbor China. 1 With a $3.319 trillion GDPppp (2004 est.) , the Indian economy is the fourth largest in the world, and is the world's second-fastest growing economy with an average growth rate of 6% since 1990. It encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of support services. However, the country has a continuing public-sector budget deficit of an approximate 60% of GDP. Governance style The Republic of India is a democratic republic with a bicameral parliament. It is a union of states within a federal structure. It has 28 states (subdivided into districts), 6 Union Territories and the National Capital Territory of Delhi. States have their own elected government; while Union Territories are governed by an administrator appointed by the union government. Page 1 3CD City Profiles Series - Current Working Document- Mumbai-India The head of state is the President which is mainly a ceremonial position. The President and Vice-President are elected indirectly through an electoral college for 5 year terms. The Prime Minister holds the executive power and is designated by the political party or coalition commanding a parliamentary majority. The Prime Minister nominates subordinate ministers to be appointed by the president.

Similarly, the country has suffered four major earthquakes in the last fifty years along with a series of moderate intensity earthquakes that have occurred at regular intervals. Since 1988, six earthquakes have struck different parts of the One crore is 10 million. Page 2 3CD City Profiles Series - Current Working Document- Mumbai-India country. These caused considerable human and property losses. […] In the recent earthquake in Gujarat, more than 14,000 lives were lost, ten lakh houses were damaged and the asset loss has been indicated to be worth 15,000 crore.”3 The Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council (BMTPC) of India states that the vulnerability to natural hazards in terms of area affected is as follows: 54% to earthquakes, 28% to drought, 5% to floods, and 8% to cyclones. According to IIPA, about one million homes are damaged annually with human, economic, social and other losses (BMPTC, 2003).4 Regarding earthquakes, the country has been divided into five earthquake zones (Zone V having the largest probability of a high consequence event.) The BMTPC estimates earthquake vulnerability in terms of land area affected as follows: 12% is liable to severe earthquakes (intensity MSK IX or more) 18% is liable to MSK VIII (similar to the earthquakes in Latur/Uttarkashi) 25% is liable to MSK Vii (similar to the Jabalpur earthquake). The east coast of the Indian subcontinent experiences more cyclones than the west coast (262 cyclones in the east compared with 33 cyclones between 1891 and 1990. Nineteen cyclones had more than 10,000 fatalities each. The floods in the Indo-Gengetic-Brahmaputra plains render a few hundred lives lost and millions homeless every year. BMTPC’s tool for disaster management, the Vulnerability Atlas of India is under revision; the use of hazard maps to earthquakes, cyclones, and floods at the local/district level is actively being pursued by the Government of India in the projects with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS or also known as Habitat). The Atlas covers issues like physical vulnerability assessments of different building types (using seismic and cyclone intensities), disaster damage scenarios, technical guidelines for hazard resistant construction of buildings, One lakh is a 100 thousand.

National disaster management structure and relevant legislation5 Relief in the wake of natural calamities has been traditionally the principal focus of disaster management actions, and has been treated primarily as a responsibility of the States. The Central Government can, however, associate itself with relief measures although its response is determined by factors such as (i) the gravity of the disaster in question, (ii) the scale of the relief operation necessary, and (iii) the requirements of Central assistance for augmenting the financial resources at the

  • Mindscapes of Space, Power and Value in Mumbai
    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 277-292 The epistemology of a sea view: mindscapes of space, power and value in Mumbai Ramanathan Swaminathan Senior Fellow, Observer Research Foundation (ORF) Fellow, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) Contributing Editor, Governance Now [email protected] ABSTRACT: Mumbai is a collection of seven islands strung together by a historically layered process of reclamation, migration and resettlement. The built landscape reflects the unique geographical characteristics of Mumbai’s archipelagic nature. This paper first explores the material, non-material and epistemological contours of space in Mumbai. It establishes that the physical contouring of space through institutional, administrative and non-institutional mechanisms are architected by complex notions of distance from the city’s coasts. Second, the paper unravels the unique discursive strands of space, spatiality and territoriality of Mumbai. It builds the case that the city’s collective imaginary of value is foundationally linked to the archipelagic nature of the city. Third, the paper deconstructs the complex power dynamics how a sea view turns into a gaze: one that is at once a point of view as it is a factor that provides physical and mental form to space. In conclusion, the paper makes the case that the mindscapes of space, value and power in Mumbai have archipelagic material foundations. Keywords : archipelago, form, island, mindscape, Mumbai, power, space, value © 2014 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction: unearthing the archipelagic historiography of Mumbai A city can best be described as a collection of spaces. Not in any ontological sense or in a physically linear form, but in an ever-changing, ever-interacting mesh of spatialities and territorialities that display the relative social relations of power existing at that particular point in time (Holstein & Appadurai, 1989).

  • ART. XX.-Some Interesting Antiquities of Salsette Bv J
    ART. XX.-Some Interesting Antiquities of Salsette Bv j. A. SALDANHA, B.A., LL.B. (Read on 12tk January 1917.) Next to Bombay there is no part of this Presidency which engages so much of the solicitude of Government and the concern of the public as the island of Salsette. It is to this islana that the Bombay Town Planning Act of 1915 has primarily been made applicable-with a special collector, called the Salsette Development Officer, to carry out its purpose with a direct eye to the highest type of sanitation and the best amenities of a town life. The study of the past of such a place must be of unique interest and value. 2. In this paper I propose to confine myself to some ol its antiqui­ ties over which light is thrown fron1 legal enactments and documents. The first one that occurs tu. us is a very antique regulation of the Bombay Government, which, though not standing in any Statute book of unrepealed laws and regulations, still holds good in certain parts ol the Salsette island. It is the Salsette Revenue Settlement Regulation No. 1 of 1808. It consists of an historical memoir of the revenut! systems established by the Portuguese, the Mahrattas and the East India Company as well of a little of geography, ethnography, botany and zoology of the place. In fact, it is a small gazetteer of the island in the form of one of the old Bombay Regulations, held by Courts to have had the force of a legislative enactment and relied upon as binding­ in regard to land tenures in certain Khoti villages.

  • 1 Bombay and Lahore. Colonial Railways and Colonial
    1 Bombay and Lahore. Colonial Railways and Colonial Cities: Some Urban Consequences of the Development and Operation of Railways in India, c. 1850-c. 1947 by Ian J. Kerr Two images, two railway stations, frame this presentation: the first is Victoria Terminus in Bombay; the second is the station in Lahore. Many aspects of the post-1850 histories of Bombay and Lahore were deeply affected by the development and operation of the railways of colonial India. Each station, so different one from the other, tells us something about the history of each city and their railways; different histories, different growth trajectories within a shared context defined by British colonial rule in South Asia and the development of a system of colonial railways. Lahore is discussed later in the paper. I begin with Bombay. Victoria Terminus is shown in figure 1 below. Commonly known as VT in a semiotic shift indicative of appropriation and familiarity, it opened in 1887 after nearly a decade of construction. This magnificent building ranks among the world’s great railway stations.1 Designed by its architect, F.W. Stevens, in what is sometimes labelled an Indo-Italian Secular Gothic style and echoing some elements of London’s St. Pancras Station Hotel, Victoria Terminus dominated the cityscape of late 19th century central Bombay; it remains a formidable presence in the early years of the 21st century despite a cityscape now dotted with skyscrapers. Over 2 million passengers pass daily through the sumptuous interior with its marble floors, stained glass windows, and a great staircase lined with Corinthian columns of polished granite from Aberdeen, Scotland—a staircase that provided access to the upper- level, headquarter offices of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company (hereafter GIP), and now its successor, the Central Division of the world’s fourth-longest (38,500 route miles) railway system and, at 1.75 million employees, the world’s largest, single-enterprise employer: the state-owned and state-operated Indian Railways.
